Two pieces from the New York Times “Sunday Review”:

1. J.D. Kleinke of the American Enterprise Institute does an elegant and factual job explaining why conservatives have opposed what is at its root a conservative health care reform law based largely on center-right ideas. The White House will love this one.

2. Mitt Romney decisively loses the Tom Friedman Primary. Boston will likely say “who cares?” and “big surprise (not),” rather than asking why it happened and what the political (and potential governing) implications are.
